OK, is it possible, that despite the good intentions of those turning this into a "Anyone who looks at a girl under 20 is a sick pedophile and should be killed" thread that we are missing the point?
The OP called it the "Young Girl Image", he didn't say "Bang some pre-teens" He didn't say "Get Anal on your daughter's babysitter"
He is talking about the "image".
Now look at most women walking around your local mall. From age 12-45 they are be-bopping around in bare midriff shirts, pants that start about 3 mm above their vagina, piercings in their lips and nose.
The "Young Girl Image" is the "Everywoman Image"
Now, if you want to address why that is, I can sum it for you very simply. It's Marketing. We are SOLD younger women as a commodity. There is a biological response based in the perpetuation of the species (Younger women to perpetuate the breeding) but this has been marketed and further perpetuated into a marketing concept.
We are (as a society) getting older, we (as a society) don't want to get older, because getting older means dying. No one wants to die.
We chase the elusive youth of yesteryear by getting hair plugs (well, not me, obviously see picture) liposuction and yes dressing younger (ladies)
We are told that being young, feeling young, and yes ladies and gentlemen DATING/FORNICATING young is what we should be doing. Combine this with the natural innate predilection of the male choosing good breeding stock, and voila we have an aging, youth obsessed/sexually based culture.
Combine the market based forced sexualization of "teens" combined with the increased moral enforcement of protecting those newly sexualized teens creates a paradox that isn't reconcilable.
We hold out a nubile young fleshling as the sexual ideal and then say you are sick if you think the way we've told you to think.
Sexual crimes against children are rarely sexual in primacy and more about control and weakness. Pedophiles don't go after 13 year olds because they are sexy, they go after them because they crave the control and self determinate satisfaction. Long term "pedophilic relationships" end as the child gets older and more independent.
Those who cry "pedophile" at every turn actually hurt their cause because eventually (like the boy who cried wolf) people stop taking you seriously. | |

| why is the young girl image so apealing Posted: 5/16/2006 4:41:15 PM | | I think people need to remember that when 14 and 15 yr old girls were getting married and having babies in the 15 th century, it wasnt their choice to do so...Marriages were arranged by fathers and the girl often had no say in the matter...Women were not looked at as people with "souls", but rather as chattel or property.. They certainly werent considered equal and as valuable and important as men and their needs as children were not taken into consideration...Flash forward to the 21 century..Women have legal and social rights they didnt have before..They often have the same education level and income level as the men they are dating....Birth control is widely available so women can pick and choose their sex partners...They dont need a man to support them financially, unless during pregnancy and when they are raising young children and even that is shared....They may share the same interests and hobbies as men they are interested in...In short, they are considered equals of men and as people first, and women second...So Id question a man who wants a young girl instead of mature woman closer to his age.....He sounds emotionally immature to want that, someone who cant handle a woman who is his peer, as looks fade but love, maturity and character do not....It sounds like he just wants what men wanted in the 15th century: a babymaker who will let him be the boss while her needs are secondary,,,Younger women and teens are often perfect for this, since they often dont have the self confidence of an older woman and they often aim to please the man at the expense of thir own happiness...Witness what happened to Princess Diana, who married 31 yr old Charles whn she was 19,,,Problems happened right when she started to grow up and become her own person, late 20s/around 30...Chuck could not handle her new adulthood and confidence and Di realized her adult self wasnt attracted to a sugar daddy like Chuck anymore liike it was when she was a teenager..Hence the breakup | |

He hit the nail right on the head and pointed out how easily the bandwagon gets loaded with hype due to unreasonable assumptions. Great answer! | |

Oh Thank You, its refreshing to see someone with common sense These days everyone's so over communicated/influenced by all the rubbish that society has made so easly available, its rare that occasionally someone says, the king has no clothes! | |
|
| why is the young girl image so apealing Posted: 5/23/2006 7:27:10 AM | I think because alot of older men want to relive their youth I don't know but I can't count the number of older men that I went out with that insisted I pull my hair up in pigtails, dress younger than my age and act that way....I guess whatever rocks your world | |

| why is the young girl image so apealing Posted: 6/27/2006 9:16:04 PM | Yipicya, do you honestly think marketing arises out a complete vacuum? Not at all. They spend millions, MILLIONS, on demographic studies to see what people will respond to. They aren't telling us what to do, they are simply mirroring for our culture what already exists in the collective unconscious.
People can stop taking this seriously all they want, but the issue won't go away, because it's as real as Auschwitz. And there are still people out there pretending THAT never happened.
Sexual crimes against children are rarely sexual in primacy and more about control and weakness. Pedophiles don't go after 13 year olds because they are sexy, they go after them because they crave the control and self determinate satisfaction. Long term "pedophilic relationships" end as the child gets older and more independent.
This much I agree with. Pedophilia is about power. And I would further suggest that a male, especially a much older male, who has a deep-seated need for much younger, and especially much younger-appearing women, is in it for power as well. I mean, come on, does a 40 or 50 year old man have deep intellectual conversations with an 18 year old porn starlet? No, he just boinks her, parades her out in public so everyone can see how "potent" he still is, and then trades her in as soon as he gets bored. I think most of us in our 30s and 40s can agree that sex gets much better once you've had a few years of practice. So is this really about sex, or is it about appearances?
My observation about older men who chase young girls is that they are generally pretty insecure and very ego-driven. And yes, they crave power, ar at least the appearance of being powerful. So amassing a horde of young babes is one way to 'prove' how powerful a male you are. It's about as evolved as troops of baboons, who, incidentally, are one of the only other species of primates who practice predatory 'pedophilia' on a routine basis.
I don't particularly care if you take me seriously or not - just google "child sex abuse" and you get 569,000 hits. You may not like to hear it, but this is a problem we have in our species, and males are generally the worst perpetrators. Until the males of our species decide to grow up, get their heads out of the sand, and start to develop some awareness of the issue instead of knee-jerk denial, it will continue to be an issue. | |

| why is the young girl image so apealing Posted: 6/27/2006 10:43:37 PM | | I was always figured it's because youth, heath, and vitality are appealing to men like power, stability and strength are to women. | |
|
| why is the young girl image so apealing Posted: 6/28/2006 12:40:43 AM | maybe its not that the young girl image is soo appealing, maybe the media is just focusing on it more now that younger girls are running around pretending to be older, putting pictures on the internet at 11, 12, 13 etc.. so i guess if you are into that your pretty much considered a pedophile right?

| why is the young girl image so apealing Posted: 6/28/2006 12:44:02 AM | Who said that the "Young Girl Image" is appealing???
I'm 28 years old, I don't want a woman that looks 45-50, but I don't want one that looks 20 either... 30ish - 35ish is good for me... I don't need a Young Looking girl to make me feel like a Man... | |

| why is the young girl image so apealing Posted: 6/28/2006 3:01:56 AM | [Most of the soo called teen porn I have seen has be girls 18 and over trying to look 12. School girl look with pig tails. Thats kind of scary its feeding the pedophile in some of the freaks. Guess its better they get their kicks that way than actually acting out on their desires]
Actually this is like punching a pillow when you're angry, it doesn't take away the anger, it just takes away the energy when the urge for anger (or sex) comes up again you have already rehearsed your response. Getting their kicks that way actually make the problem worse, becuase they have rehearsed this over and over and one day they won't have that site to go to. | |

| why is the young girl image so apealing Posted: 6/28/2006 3:21:11 AM | Historically speaking it is not just young women that men found appealing. In ancient Greece older men would have sex (no penetration, as it was debasing to stick anything in an orafice, hence womens high standing) with young men.
This stereotype has been propogated for the entirety of human existence. Which Greek gods were the most beautiful...lets see Aphrodite (virginal, naked and young), Artemis (virginal, huntress and young) and not Athena (mature, wise, but still virginal)...hmmmmmm. Today it has been taken to an extreme (out of necessity for marketing and media) they must look young and be thin. So young that they look 12 and so thin that they look dead. Here's the problem. Anorexics and bulemics don't look young. And apparently bigger (read: normal) girls look old.
So enter the wold of lighting, make up and camera angles. We'll make her eyes look bigger and more innocent, and we will shoot her from a downward angle to make her look younger and submissive. Watch one of the teen porn movies, there is a lot of POV (point of view) which is always downward. Look at advertising. Look at the cover of Brittany Spears' first album cover, she's on her knees in a schoolgirl outfit and the camera is slightly above her.
*Enter the Rant*
I am not saying that we are being brainwashed here. Because we are not, we allow this to happen because no one sees anything wrong with it. Staying young is THE most important thing, and having an eating disorder makes you better then everyone else (but living a full life with one makes for page 5 and if you actually beat it well here's your book deal, and by the way we'll just spin that you had one and fought it, not that you beat it).
And women can jump all over men about teen porn or looking at thin girls or this and that. But who buys the cosmo's, who buys the make up, who necessitated the need for 00 sizes and if you think I am going to put this all on women, you are wrong. This is everybody's problem, and unless you want to carry your 5'10, 85 lbs daughter, wife, friend, mother or whoever to the hospital because she is having a seizure or has stopped breathing then you need to be aware of our actions. I am not saying you need to stop doing what it is your doing, but AT LEAST BE AWARE!!!!! It's a start. | |

| why is the young girl image so apealing Posted: 6/28/2006 5:42:10 PM | Hear hear for awareness!!
Gambit's point about Ancient Greece just further illustrates how pervasive this "youthifying" has been throughout human history. Another example, which Gambit didn't mention, is cartoons - the majority of cartoon characters, from Betty Boop to the Archies through to modern times, have a head-to-torso ratio of an infant or very young child. Big heads, big round eyes... what the hell is that all about? I know our collective unconscious expresses itself in mysterious ways, but this fascination with cartoon sex objects proportioned like infants? That's just plain sick. And what about the current fashion trends for young men? You know, those baggy pants hanging off the butt, underwear exposed, big huge baggy t-shirts... makes 'em look like toddlers, I swear to god. Just what exactly is being expressed here for us to collectively notice? And those raver styles, where the teenagers wear little stuffed animal knapsacks, suck on lollipops, and wear pigtails?
You'd think awareness wouldn't be such a painful process, but apparently it's just too painful for the majority of people to recognize that the innocence of youth is a total myth - most youth I know are far from innocent, and not by their own choice either. What worries me is the possibility that humanity is somehow hardwired to respond sexually to images that remind them of children. Ick. | |

They are very Young women but in US they are jail bate. A 18 year old look more attractive because they can make more baby's. It get back to basic main reason human have sex is to make baby's. It is vary primal to be attractive to very Young women.
Q
Kate (12-14) asks about development:
How can you tell when a girl will begin to menstruate for the first time? Are there any signs?
A
Kate:
Menarch (the beginning of menstruation) usually happens in "Stage 4" of puberty, but can happen late in Stage 3 as well. While there are no real "signs" of an impending first period, there are signs that may let you know when it is likely to happen. Use the following guide to see where in puberty you are, and you'll get an idea of when your first period may happen.
Five Stages of Puberty - Girls
1
Age Range: Usually 8-11 In Stage 1 there are no outside signs of development, but a girl's ovaries are enlarging and hormone production is beginning.
2
Age Range: Usually 8-14. Average: 11-12 The first sign is typically the beginning of breast growth, including "breast buds." A girl may also grow considerable height and weight. The first signs of pubic hair start out fine and straight, rather than curly.
3
Age Range: Usually 9-15. Average: 12-13 Breast growth continues, and pubic hair coarsens and becomes darker, but there still isn't a lot of it. Your body is still growing, and your vagina is enlarging and may begin to produce a clear or whitish discharge, which is a normal self-cleansing process. Some girls get their first menstrual periods late in this stage.
4
Age Range: Usually 10-16. Average: 13-14 Pubic hair growth takes on the triangular shape of adulthood, but doesn't quite cover the entire area. Underarm hair is likely to appear in this stage, as is menarche. Ovulation (release of egg cells) begins in some girls, but typically not in a regular monthly routine until Stage 5.
5
Age Range: Usually 12-19. Average: 15 This is the final stage of development, when a girl is physically an adult. Breast and pubic hair growth are complete, and your full height is usually attained by this point. Menstrual periods are well established, and ovulation occurs monthly. | |

Why is there so many porn sites linked to young girls particuarly teens.
Because most men are, unfortunately, absuredly insecure in terms of what they have to offer a prospective mate.
A young woman/girl is much easier to manipulate on average than a mature one. So naturally a lot of men think they can get the respect and/or admiration of a young girl easier, and they are probably right. Young women are more fantasy than reality driven than their more mature counterparts. What may be a flaw in the eyes of a fully developed woman can sometimes easily be part of the charm for a younger one.
A 15 yr old girl may be impressed that you make $200 a week and drive a car whereas the older woman can't get past the fact you still live with mommy and daddy at the age of 30.  | |

| why is the young girl image so apealing Posted: 7/2/2006 12:42:56 PM | Maybe thinking about times when we were younger or happier keeps us happier or healthier..
kids have so much energy, maybe we need to start remembering the good old days, when we were not worrying about how many guys are starring at younger girls on the internet wacking off and trying to enjoy life instead of out stalking someone in person or trying to kill them.
People learn alot from kids even from being silly and enjoy all the little pleasures in life instead of searching for them in other countries. Younger girls make old men feel younger and stronger.. I have always liked older guys, intrigued by their knowlege and manly bodies and strength..
its these women who are going for younger guys which confuses me!!
How can the younger boy image be appealing? | |
|
| why is the young girl image so apealing Posted: 7/2/2006 1:29:30 PM | How can women find a younger man appealing?? How could they not. When they are in shape they have beautiful tight bodies, full heads of hair and are able to maintain erections without the use of chemicals.
This phenomenan works both ways. So please don't be confused.
Perhaps we'll ask you this question again in twenty years and see what you answer is then. | |
|
| why is the young girl image so apealing Posted: 7/2/2006 2:11:15 PM | | Because when we were young it was a reality,as we get older it's now a fantasy cause young girls are out of our league,and if we want it we have to pay for it! | |
